Overview
The lives of women in the garment industry at the turn of the 20th century, and their involvement in unions, consumer's leagues, and coalitions, take center stage as we work to understand how women made efforts to improve the lives of industrial workers. Using an Intersectional approach, we demonstrate how women with different interests and identities formed alliances around legal and social causes in the early 20th Century, and how this culminated in women's fight for the vote in the early 20th century.

Wirelesscaller completed this course, spending 2 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be easy.
This was the second of the courses that I took. The videos are informative and interesting and follow a natural sequence. I learned a lot.
